Ahead of the first Republican presidential debate, former President Donald Trump's campaign team is trolling Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida even as the ex-president is set to skip the high-stakes event.
While hosting a group of political reporters at a steakhouse in Milwaukee, which will host the first debate, the Trump campaign handed out pudding snack packs, a reference to an article written by The Daily Beast's Jake Lahut and Zachary Petrizzo where DeSantis was said by two sources to have eaten a chocolate pudding dessert with three of his fingers.
Debate bingo cards were also distributed at the steakhouse as part of the Trump team's continued efforts to maintain the former president's dominance as the GOP presidential frontrunner. Some of the words and phrases on the bingo cards included: "Dismisses poll," "Ron defends slavery," "Gaslight covid record," and "nervous laugh."

Vivek may end up winning this debate, but he’s a snake oil salesman! Beware of him! Don’t make him the eventual Trump VP pick!
Nasty Immature Mean Trump has divided the Gop.
We will be crushed in 2024 .
Thanks Trump for Biden reelection .
I think there is a Club Fed in his future anyways.
Nope, it’s not over, as seen by all the desantis supporters that still attack Trump and his supporters here....
And it won’t be over, until the republican presidential primary occurs, or for a ‘candidate’, the ‘candidate’ drops out.
Because, in a competition, you don’t stop until you have won.
Trump needs to start acting like the President.
DJT pre-recorded his interview and insults because he will be rehearsing his mug shot in front of a mirror tonight.
“Those Trump team members still have that high school mentality of ridicule and name calling. Kinda like the guy they trying to elect.”
Agreed!
Trump started ragging on DeSantis while he did nothing until he had enough and said enough of this thug and started punching back.
I’ve never seen so many sheep excited to line up for the slaughterhouse. Trump is lost us the last two elections, arguably three. I guess the fourth time will be the charm despite the fact that more than half the country said they will never vote for him.
And when the mug shot gets leaked, it’ll be on T shirts and other items...
And Trump’s poll numbers will go up even more....
While desantis hopes to make it through the early primaries
Ah yes, focus back on Trump. Let all the others I mentioned off the hook.
Tell ya what, I used to be proud to call myself a “conservative”, but a funny thing happened on the way to the here and now. Our native-born commies have been making a steady, methodical, and concerted effort to take over the country for the last few decades now. And all the “conservatives” we elected to oppose them refused to lift a finger to fight. If anything sabotaged conservatism, it was this inherent weakness of conservatism itself.
It may be a fine ideology to run a country if the people of that country are generally good and moral, but when you’ve got commie scumbags who are willing to break all the rules to get into power, conservatism appears to be completely unprepared to deal with them. And if that is true, since we are in that situation today, what worth is left to an ideology without any utility?
I won't ever vote for a degenerate Democrat
For pity sake, it’s a serious debate. If someone choses to not participate, then why not pretend to be a wise and presidential person and let it happen without the schoolyard stuff?
>> Duh-Santis
The FRindignation makes it even funnier
That's pretty funny because Trump burns his steak and dumps ketchup on it like an 8-year-old
We have lost Five times under Trump and Botox Bozo his hand picked Crooked Ronna Romney . Yes, we are the most divided Gop in my lifetime .Trump hides and can not debate anyways .Biden won the debate in 2020.
Plan on a Big Biden sweep and Gop losing the House.
> And it won’t be over, until the republican presidential primary occurs… <
I suppose that’s true. But Trump’s chance of being the 2024 GOP nominee has to be at least 80%. So at some point it’s time to withdraw resources (both financial and emotional) from the primary, and redeploy them to the general election.
I think we’re there now.
This seems to indicate they see only DeSantis as any kind of lingering threat.
Leaked? You are clueless if you think the mug shots coming out of Atlanta are leaked.
This is simply an adolescent ghetto game to you.
